We stayed at #7 The Palms in April, with our 2 boys (ages 15 and 13) and had a brilliant time. The condo is absolutely superb - the condition of the property is immaculate, the kitchen has every convenience (we made great use of the many different types of cocktail glasses thoughtfully provided by the owner!) and everything was exactly as described.

The Palms complex is only small (24 condos) and provided everything you need for a great beach holiday - kayaks, boogie boards, surfboards, snorkelling equipment.... We didn't get around to using the supplied BBQs, like we'd intended. There's plenty of sunbeds and sunshades, both around the lovely pool and under the shade of palm trees. The grounds are beautifully kept, and the small bar by the main pool whisks up mean drinks and super food at very reasonable prices. The fruit smoothies and daiquiries kept our spirits up on long, hot days... this is living!

Best of all is the location - one of very few properties with a genuine beach-front location. You can walk from the terrace of #7 straight out across the lawn and onto the sand, no crossing roads, nothing between you and the lovely white sand and pacific waves. It's like a private beach.

Quite simply this is millionaire living, especially as The Palms is so quiet. The staff set out to provide 5-star service and I believe they do - everyone is really helpful and friendly. Roy in particular was great, he suggested we travellled to a local town's fiesta which turned out to be one of the most memorable moments of a hectic Costa Rican holiday.

Think Four Seasons and you won't be wrong. It is worth every penny (or cent, I guess!) If you want Pacific Coast beach and luxury this is definitely the place.
